See It Work
Six moments from a real portal.
Not ours — one studio's.
Everything below is captured from a live portal, shown in one studio's brand. Yours wears yours.
01
It's not our brand on it. It's yours.
Your logo, your colors, your domain. Your client logs into your portal — not a tool with your name typed into a settings field. Nobody else walks into the living room with their own platform.
02
Stop donating billable hours.
Start with the thing that pays for everything else: time. Pick the project, hit start, do your thing. When you stop, it's logged, priced at your rate, and filed — while it's still true, not Friday from memory. Firms that log time from memory lose 15–25% of their billable hours. This is how you stop giving them away.
03
Nothing gets forgotten in the truck.
You're walking a job with your client — tap the mic and just talk: "Kitchen with Sarah — she loves the quartzite but wants to see it in daylight… she's leaning toward the 36-inch range, that frees about twelve hundred in the appliance budget… remind me to bring the door sample Thursday." This is what comes out: organized notes, by topic, with the follow-ups pulled out as checkboxes.
04
Your client sees exactly what they paid for.
At the end of the week, one button turns those notes and hours into a clean activity summary: what got decided, what's open, where the time went. Print it, or file it straight to the project's documents and send it with the invoice.
05
The invoice? One tap.
Every unbilled hour becomes a line item with the date, the work, and the math already done. Review it, send it, get paid.
06
Every selection. Every room. Tracked to install.
List everything a room needs — the moment it's picked, it becomes a line item that carries its own life story: selected, client-approved, ordered, shipped, on site, installed. A Chrome extension clips products from Build.com, Ferguson, or any retailer straight into the project, and your client watches the status move without calling you. Nothing lives in a spreadsheet. Nothing falls through an email.
07
Schedules that build themselves.
From those same selections, the portal writes the documents trades actually ask for: a paint schedule, lighting schedule, plumbing schedule, tile schedule — each item with its photo, model number, and where it goes. The spec book that used to eat a Sunday now falls out of work you already did.
08
The board that reaches the spouse and the architect.
Mood boards with real Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore colors, approved right in the client's portal. And when the client's husband or the architect wants to see it? Copy a link, text it. No login, no prices, just the work — under your name.
